Fun creative drawing lessons manual or digital for beginners!

From 41 C$ /h

There are so many different ways and materials to discover your own style and continue with it! Being creative is super fun and everyone can do it!

At the beginning, the focus will mainly be on a few basic techniques of drawing. Working on shadows, light, contours and shapes may seem a bit boring, but nothing could be further from the truth! When these basic techniques are a little mastered, you will see that drawing is a lot easier and we can continue to search for still lifes, portraits or even outdoor subjects.

If realistic is not entirely your thing, we can also illustrate. Find your own style and continue working with it.

We can all do this manually but also digitally. I have various drawing programs and a drawing tablet which makes this possible.

I also give tutoring in Dutch and biology.

Extra information

For manual drawing, I can take the first lesson material with you, but then you must bring your own. Think of paper, material with which you want to draw (pencils, charcoal, pastel, etc.) and brushes when you want to work with paint. I am provided with material for digital drawing. I have a laptop, drawing programs and a drawing tablet that I can take with me. For this I ask an extra fee.

The times that are now indicated I am available but since my schedule is not very fixed it may be that I have extra time off. So you can still talk about the times. The place is also negotiable.

About Me

Hello!

I'm Eva, a 23 year old student at the university of applied science (biology) in Almere. I worked as an au pair in Madrid for one year. In this year I noticed I really like to pass on knowledge! Before I went to Madrid, I studied graphic design and illustration. This is why I think I can give help in many different ways. I would also like to help with homework, exam training, planning and stress. School can be quite stressful... I think a little push in the right direction can do a lot!

Hope to see you soon,

Eva

Education

I completed my studies graphic design and illustration in Antwerp, Belgium. After that I went to Spain for a year as an au pair. After my year in Spain I started a HBO (university of applied science) course in applied biology in Almere. I am now in my 2nd year.

Experience / Qualifications

In my year in Madrid as an au pair I helped the children I took care of a lot with school. I helped them for example by building up some self-confidence.

Biology tutor for different levels and ages. VMBO, HAVO, VWO or MBO.

23 C$ /h

I really enjoy transferring knowledge and I want to use this to help others. Together with the student we look for the best option / method to learn something in a fun and good way. Everyone learns differently.

I give tutoring in biology, Dutch and homework and exam help and draw / illustrate lessons (in other lessons).

Dutch and biology were my favorite subjects in the past. Now I follow biology in higher professional education. Here I almost only get courses related to biology! Because of this I think I can offer a lot of help for different levels.

The times can be discussed since my own schedule is not fixed either. So some days I have more time.

I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.

I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.

I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.

In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.

You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.

Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Painting and drawing are not just techniques—they are also powerful tools for presentation, mediation, and self-expression. This class will guide you through the essentials of painting and drawing, covering foundational skills such as perspective, anatomy, and color theory, as well as techniques for analyzing and critiquing artwork.

From still life and portraiture to landscapes, abstract painting, and multimedia art, this course will support you in developing your unique visual language. Based on your individual goals and interests, I will create a tailored plan to help you achieve the best possible outcomes in your artistic journey.

I am an artist and philosopher from Amsterdam currently living in Antwerp. I studied in London where I acquired a BA from Art Academy London and a BA in philosophy from St Mary's University London.

Artistic development starts by identifying your artistic interest. As artists, we don’t always know why we draw and paint the things that we do. Yet they are not random. What captivates us or draws us towards certain artworks? This might be the tonal way in which light reflects, structural forms or mathematical division. The point being, is that we all have such aesthetic interests and step 1 is finding out what interests you!

Step 2 is helping you express your interests through painting techniques, styles and materiality. But it all starts with you. What do you want to say? And how? I will help you do this through discussion, looking at your previous work (if you have any), introducing you to a LARGE variety of artists, potentially copying their styles. I adjust my classes according to your needs.

The goal is simple: to come to understand your artistic interest, help you find techniques to express them and develop your artistic language.

(Please note that just because you have found an artistic interest and a way to express it, it does not mean that you must do only one thing for the rest of your life. It is the downfall of creativity to repeat and paint the same way over and over again. Instead, allow your interests to drive your creativity. Let it be the starting point, venture out and discover it from various angles and ways of expressing it. But also be mindful that as we grow our interests can change and as they change, we must remain honest and respond accordingly such that our artistic language can also grow.)

Have questions? Don’t hesitate to message me! I can tailor a class to your needs :)

behind physics there's math and behind math there's the logic, so you'll need to see things differently.
in these courses we offer the opportunity to learn this skill, so at the end we'll all together share the same love, the love of science.
as for art, it's what makes us cross that line of logic and go even farther with our thoughts, so you're welcome to think with us and share this love.

Learn digital illustration through personalized lessons focused on the areas you want or need to improve the most. The classes are adapted to your current level, artistic goals, and the kind of work you want to create.

We can explore different illustration techniques and approaches, including black-and-white artwork, grayscale painting, full-color illustration, character-focused pieces, and more stylized or rendered work. Rather than following the exact same program for every student, the lessons can focus on the techniques that are most useful for your development.

Depending on your goals, we can work on composition, color theory, lighting, anatomy, perspective, shape language, character design, visual storytelling, concept art, game art, and other fundamentals of digital illustration.

You can also bring your own illustrations, sketches, studies, or personal projects to class. We can analyze what is working, identify areas that could be improved, and work directly on the skills necessary to take your artwork further.

The goal is not only to learn specific tools or techniques, but also to develop a stronger understanding of the artistic decisions behind an illustration and gradually build a workflow that works for you.

My name is Nayara, and I offer art classes tailored to each student's level, age, and goals. My strengths lie in pencil, acrylic, and oil painting, though I can also help with basic drawing techniques, color theory, composition, and various art projects.
I am currently studying Visual Arts in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, so I can help both students who want to learn as a hobby and students who need to improve their results in the art subject.
In my classes we can work on:
- Acrylic and oil paint
- Basic drawing techniques
- Color theory and mixing
- Composition and proportion
- Development of ideas and creativity
- Help with homework and school projects
- Support to improve grades
- Crafts and creative projects
I like to tailor my classes to each individual and make them dynamic, practical, and engaging. Instead of just teaching theory, I prepare each class in advance, gathering all the necessary materials and resources. My goal is for every student to develop their creativity, improve their technique, and, above all, enjoy the artistic process.
The classes are specially designed for children, teenagers and beginners, although I can also adapt to students with more experience.

If you think drawing is difficult or you've been trying for a while and aren't improving, the problem isn't your talent: Nobody has taught you how to make it easy, fun, and less frustrating.

In my classes I welcome students of all levels, from beginners to advanced. I also teach in English.

I use a method based on the student's goals and needs. It doesn't matter if it's just a hobby or if you want something more professional. The structure adapts perfectly to what you're looking for and can change throughout the course.

My goal isn't just for you to learn, but for you to have fun while you improve. We'll learn using your favorite series, comics, and webtoons. No boring exercises, just drawing. We'll analyze the work of the artists you admire, and you'll learn the tricks that real professionals use.

You will learn: Manga/Anime, Comics, Narrative, Illustration, Drawing, Digital and Traditional Art, Character and Environment Design, Anatomy, Landscapes.

Shall we learn together?
